L3 Dockside Port Party: Where Science Meets Story

Step right up to the waterfront and into a day built for curious minds. The Dockside Port Party brings youth, families, microschools, homeschool groups, and citizen scientists together for hands-on marine science, coastal storytelling, and a student-led outdoor art gallery.

Test water at a NOAA-approved PMN station, explore real data with real tools, and see Florida’s changing coastlines through the eyes of young creators.

Whether you’re leading a microschool, raising a young scientist, scouting for community partnerships, or looking to sponsor mission-driven work—there’s a place for you on the dock.
